Russian tortoise Diet Questions

[tortoisekyle]

Hey! I know what to feed my tortoise and all the different things I can feed her but I just don’t know how much I should feed her? Any advice or things you guys have experienced?


This place is great! Thanks to everyone who has helped me so far!

Feed enough in the morning so that she can eat all day, and still have a bit left over at the end of the day

This is a species that hibernates for months out of the year in their natural environment....so likely the tortoise wants to pork down alot all of the time....I would feed the tort as much as it wants to eat during all tortoise season...then I bet you will notice the tort begins to slow down as fall and winter approaches...
